• Maintenance Synchronization: Partner closely with Maintenance Planners and Engineering to forecast critical spare parts demand ahead of scheduled major overhauls or plant shutdowns.
• Reorder Process Ownership: Own the end-to-end enterprise asset management platform (such as IBM Maximo) automated reorder process; generate, validate, and approve systemic replenishment requests (PRs) based on system-generated triggers before routing to purchasing groups.
• Performance KPI Tracking: Track and report on key supply chain metrics including inventory turnover, dead-stock ratios, and stock-out frequencies.
• Process Optimization: Identify cost-saving opportunities by uncovering slow-moving, obsolete, or duplicate items across interconnected regional warehouses.
